Just a few off the top of my mind.

Being a history buff I love classic movies, and love the old war films. I do watch documentaries once a year like Victory at Sea, and even Vietnam, a History. For films it's gotta be the old stuff. Take Sahara, for example, it's gritty, or a few weeks ago on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) the movie "The Seven Graves".

How about non-WWII films? "The Four Feathers" (1939?) come to mind, or some of those about the French Foreign Legion. Lots of great stuff!

Deathy...Tora, Tora, Tora has some of the best effects i have ever seen(prop flying across tarmac!) The seen where the B-17 crew has to take off immediately after landing still makes me tense every time.
